Victron 500A 12V/24V/48V Battery Monitoring SmartShunt with Inbuilt Bluetooth

Victron 500A 12V/24V/48V Battery Monitoring SmartShunt with Inbuilt Bluetooth

This Victron 500A VS series SmartShunt uses a high-precision battery shunt designed to expertly measure?ÿvital charging and performance?ÿdata for?ÿyour batteries. This smart model features additional advanced functions such as Bluetooth communication ability, a secondary?ÿinput for?ÿoptional monitoring of an auxiliary battery bank, and an extremely low current draw from the battery bank (0.7Ah per month for a 12V system).?ÿStatistics such as battery voltage, charge / discharge current as energy flows in to and out of the battery, Amp Hours consumed, state of charge and time-to-go?ÿcan be viewed and the settings can be programmed using the inbuilt Bluetooth via any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.

Battery data

The SmartShunt?ÿmeasures?ÿthe vital parameters relating to the battery condition and the energy it receives?ÿ/ provides,?ÿand transmits this information?ÿvia Bluetooth, where it can be viewed by the user (and where some settings can be amended if necessary). This information includes:

• Battery voltage: Displayed for the main battery / battery bank, and also for an optional auxiliary battery which can be connected via the secondary input.
• Battery midpoint voltage monitoring:?ÿFor battery banks constructed of several individual batteries, the SmartShunt is able to maintain balance by taking the voltage measurements from the midpoint within the bank, and if the voltage deviates from this point of balance, an alarm will be generated. For such battery banks, the voltage value is also displayed for the battery bank as a whole, and additionally, for the 'top section' and 'bottom section' (i.e. 1st half and 2nd half) of the battery bank.
• Battery state of charge: Indicated as a percentage value from 0-100%.
• Battery charging / discharging current and power:?ÿThe current?ÿ(A) and power (W)?ÿflowing out of the battery (load consumption)?ÿare displayed as negative values,?ÿwhile the current and power?ÿflowing into the battery?ÿare?ÿdisplayed as positive values.
• Battery temperature: The smart monitor can be connected to an optional Victron battery temperature sensor (sold separately). This temperature measurement can be used to adjust available battery capacity as the temperature varies. An alarm will be activated when battery?ÿtemperature falls outside of the safe range.
• Amp hours consumed: For example, if 12A is drawn from a fully charged battery during a period of 3 hours, the app will show -36.0Ah consumed by the battery.
• Time-to-go:?ÿThe SmartShunt is able to?ÿestimate the?ÿapproximate length of time that the battery will continue to support the current load, before?ÿthe battery?ÿrequires re-charging.?ÿ

An in-depth?ÿdata?ÿlog also records historical data?ÿto enable the user to evaluate usage patterns and determine overall battery health. This includes values such as?ÿthe highest/ lowest recorded voltages (for the main battery and auxiliary battery), deepest recorded discharge,?ÿtime since last?ÿfull discharge, cumulative Amp hours drawn, time since last full charge, total energy charged/discharged and many more.

Customisation

The user can set high/low thresholds for battery voltage (either battery), battery state of charge (main battery) or the battery temperature (additional sensor required). If any of the above parameters fall outside of this specified range, the battery shunt?ÿwill activate an alarm on the connected mobile app.

Advanced communication

This smart battery shunt features inbuilt Bluetooth, enabling the user to wirelessly connect their mobile device to the monitor. Then, using the VictronConnect App?ÿon a smartphone or tablet, you will unlock?ÿnumerous possibilities for?ÿadvanced programming and remote monitoring of your battery system. A wide range of?ÿfeatures are made available, including real-time data transmission, as well as the option to amend battery storage information, program alarms,?ÿand set up or join an existing VE.Smart network. Alternatively, the VE Direct USB cable can be used to establish a connection to a non-Bluetooth-enabled PC/laptop.

The VictronConnect app is compatible with?ÿmost mobile devices and computers, including Android and iOS smartphones, tablets, iPads, MacBooks, Windows PCs/laptops.

Compatibility

This SmartShunt is suitable for use with any?ÿ12V, 24V or 48V?ÿLead Acid / Gel / AGM / Lithium battery or battery bank. The maximum admissible nominal?ÿcurrent?ÿthrough the shunt is 500A.

Additional items

The shunt is also supplied with 2 x 1.5m positive supply cables with a fuse?ÿto connect the battery shunt to?ÿup to?ÿtwo battery banks.
